Abstract: The present invention is an adhesive delivery system including a conformable film having top and bottom faces, an adhesive releasably coated on at least a portion of the top face of the conformable film, and a light release liner adhered to the adhesive side opposite the conformable film.

Abstract: A method of making an adhesive is provided, including obtaining an actinic radiation-polymerizable adhesive precursor composition disposed against a surface of an actinic radiation-transparent substrate and irradiating a first portion of the actinic radiation-polymerizable adhesive precursor composition through the actinic radiation-transparent substrate for a first irradiation dosage. The method further includes irradiating a second portion of the actinic radiation-polymerizable adhesive precursor composition through the actinic radiation-transparent substrate for a second irradiation dosage. The first portion and the second portion are adjacent to or overlapping with each other and the first irradiation dosage and the second irradiation dosage are not the same. The method forms an integral adhesive having a variable thickness in an axis normal to the surface of the actinic radiation-transparent substrate.

Abstract: The present invention is a multi-layer optically clear adhesive construction having at least one adhesive slip layer. Exemplary constructions comprise an adhesive core layer and at least one slip layer. The slip layer provides enhanced reworkability of the final assembly and also alleviates bonding process induced stress. The slip layer is represented by a curable adhesive layer having a tan delta of at least 0.8 at a temperature of 100° C. at 1 Hz. The adhesives described herein may be used in display assemblies to provide optical and mechanical coupling of substrates in the device.

Abstract: A stretch releasable adhesive article includes first and second opposed major surfaces and a pull tab, and at least a portion of at least one of the first and second major surfaces is adhesive. The adhesive article has a cross-sectional area—as measured normal to the axis defined by a stretch release force applied to the pull tab during the stretch release process—that has a defined width to thickness ratio, and the adhesive article may have a visible light transmission of at least about 90%, and a haze of no greater than 5%.

Abstract: A thermoforming method and objects prepared using the thermoforming method are described. Non-self-supporting, polymeric films are initially formed into a three-dimensional shaped film on a male mold and then transferred to a female mold while being supported by the male mold. The three-dimensional shaped film can be further thermoformed, reinforced, or a combination thereof on the female mold. The resulting object has a substantially uniform thickness across a major surface. The method can preserve the surface quality of the polymeric film used to prepare the three-dimensional objects.
